    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    A considerable importance has been placed on the role of commercial banks bysuccessive Governments in the development of the economy of our country. It is almost

    certain that a bank will be associated with every project of industry/trade or business

    irrespective of its size. The banks are now certainly catering to the credit needs of a largevariety of projects, big or small, in all the sectors of economy including agriculture, trade,

    industry and services etc. Granting of short term finance for working capital requirements

    has always remained an area exclusively reserved for commercial banks. Banks have nowassumed the role of a development institution in promoting small projects in all the

    sectors of economy besides increasing their presence even in big industrial projects.

    The lending policies of banks have also undergone a sea change with the passage of timeand there had been a few historical events which had an important bearing on the general

    approach of a banker towards lending.

    The objective of this study is to envisage ideal framework of corporate financemanagement for Indian Banks. It will be of interest to have a brief discussion of various

    approaches of banks towards lending and their relative importance in present scenario.

    The scope of project includes study of -

    1. The different types of credit facilities provided by the bank.

    2. The credit assessment techniques for different types of credit facilities.

    3. The credit appraisal and monitoring standards to meet genuine credit needs of

    clients.4. The credit evaluation system.

    5. Banks credit portfolio and analysis of its credit lending pattern.

    PROPOSED METHODOLGY:

    The information on the project under study will be obtained from the Bank employees

    and officials. Also I have to study various files and the official correspondence of theBank The next stage is to understand the actual corporate finance process adopted by

    S Bank. It includes understanding of the credit proposals of certain selected borrowers

    as prepared by the Bank. Also banks credit portfolio will be analyzed. The methodologyalso includes making actual proposal of one of its proposed clients, which will help to get

    practical experience of the corporate finance methodology.

    BANKING SCENARIO

    The financial system is the lifeline of the economy. The changes in the economy getmirrored in the performance of the financial system, more so of the banking industry.

    The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized, private banks and

    specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts as a centralized body

    monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. It is the foremostmonitoring body in the Indian financial sector. The nationalized banks (i.e. government-

    owned banks) continue to dominate the Indian banking arena. Industry estimates indicate

    that out of 274 commercial banks operating in India, 223 banks are in the public sectorand 51 are in the private sector. The private sector bank grid also includes 24 foreign

    banks that have started their operations here. Under the ambit of the nationalized banks

    come the specialized banking institutions. These co-operatives, rural banks focus on

    areas of agriculture, rural development etc. Indian nationalized banks continue to be the

    major lenders in the economy due to their sheer size and penetrative networks whichassures them high deposit mobilization.

    The banks before nationalisation were generally catering to the needs of large industrial

    houses and big trade and laid a great emphasis on the safety of their funds and insistedupon availability of good tangible security to cover the advance. Offer of an acceptable

    form of good tangible security would always have a very positive influence on the

    decision of the banker to grant advance. This approach resulted in cornering out of scarcefinancial resources available with banks by a small group of individuals and other users

    who had necessary security to offer to the banks. This process also resulted in ignoring

    the genuine needs of other prospective borrowers who could not provide required security

    though they had good project in hand. This was truly an example of class banking andwas cited as an important reason for nationalisation of 14 major commercial banks in

    1969 by Government of India. It was envisaged to redistribute the financial resourcesavailable in the economy in a more equitable manner and to ensure that credit needs of all

    the sectors of economy and all sort of borrowers are adequately met. It was the first major

    steps towards the march to mass banking.

    Economic Liberalization & Financial Sector reforms introduced in 1991 followed bySecond Phase of Financial Sector reforms in 1997 ushered in an era of fast track growth

    in size, technology and deliverables of Banks in India.

    The financial sector reforms gradually moved the Banking Industry from a regulatedenvironment to a deregulated market economy. In this process, banking operationstransformed from its traditional intermediary role to a business of risk return trade off.

    RAISING OF FINANCE

    Finance for a project in India can be raised by way of:

    (a) Share Capital

    (b) Long-term Borrowings(c) Short-term Borrowings

    Both share capital and long-term borrowings are used to finance fixed assets plus the

    margin money required to obtain bank borrowings for working capital. Working capital is

    financed mainly from bank borrowings and from unsecured loans and deposits.

    Term finance is mainly provided by various banks, All India Development Banks,

    specialized financial institutions and investment institutions. In addition, term finance isalso provided by the state financial corporations, the state industrial development

    corporations and commercial banks.

    The role of the financial & banking institutions is not merely confined to lending of

    funds. They render non fund based facilities as well like opening of letter of credit, issue

    of bank guarantees etc. besides there are private investment companies involved in direct

    and indirect financing of the projects and also extending lease financing.

    Depending on the size of borrowings, the borrower can avail of term loan as well as

    working capital limits from either a single or a number of financial institutions andcommercial banks. Hence, mode of finance can be of three types. They are

    1. Sole Banking: Only one bank looks after all the financial requirements of the

    borrower.

    2. Multiple Banking: Different banks provide finance and different banking facilities

    to a single borrower without having a common arrangement and understandingbetween the lenders. The practice of multiple banking has increased tremendously

    during the last years. This is due to the increasing competition and the bankers

    desire to grow in a short span of time.

    3. Consortium Financing: Under consortium financing, several banks (or financial

    institutions) finance a single borrower with common appraisal, commondocumentation, joint supervision and follow-up exercises.

    Corporate Finance

    Mode of finance:

    S Bank provides financial services in the form of sole banking, multiple banking and

    also in consortium with other banks. Consequent to withdrawal of the guidelines relating

    to the Mandatory formation of consortium during the year 1997 by Reserve Bank ofIndia, banks enjoy discretion to adopt consortium / syndication / multiple banking routes.

    With a view to participating in financing of large borrowal accounts and at the same time

    to spread over the risks involved and also to ensure that the regulatory prescriptions onprudential exposure limits are generally not exceeded, it is proposed to increase Banks

    participation in consortium advances. In the case of multiple Banking Arrangements, it is

    ensured that security is clearly defined to each Bank or else pari-passu charge is created

    wherever it is required.

    Free flow of credit information is facilitated among the lending Banks as to the additional

    credit facilities sanctioned / renewal of the existing facilities, legal actions, symptoms of

    weaknesses in the operations of the account etc. For this purpose the bank insists uponconsortium leader to share with all member banks all material information including

    "Asset Classification" at each quarter end.

    CORPORATE FINANCE PROCESS

    A project report is essential before a decision for setting up of any project is taken. An

    entrepreneur must study all aspects of the project including the product to be

    manufactured, technical process involved in manufacturing, availability of infrastructure,plant and machinery, technology, skilled labor, marketing arrangements and prospects of

    the product etc. An assessment of the total cost of the project and proposed means of

    financing with emphasis on overall profitability of the project is also necessary. Projectreport must, therefore, include all these information and cover entire aspect of project to

    stand scrutiny by financial institution who shall appraise the project from the following

    angles before taking any decision to grant loans.

    Technical feasibility.

    Managerial competency.

    Financial and commercial viability.

    Environmental and economic viability.

    It is, therefore, necessary that a proper project report is prepared examining all thesedetails.

    Once the detailed project report is prepared, it is submitted to lending institutions for loanapproval and then corporate finance process starts.

    This process mainly comprises of following six steps. They are

    1. Appraisal of the project.

    2. Credit Rating3. Credit Sanction and Documentation4. Credit Disbursement

    5. Credit Monitoring

    6. Recovery

    1. Appraisal:

    The assessment by the bank is carried almost in the same manner as is done by otherlending institutions. The basic appraisal approach will nevertheless be the same and the

    project has to stand scrutiny on its managerial capabilities, techno-economic viability,

    marketability of products & services etc.

    Since the appraisal of the project is carried on the basis of information given in the

    project report, it is pertinent that complete and precise information is given in the firstinstance itself so as to avoid any delay in processing. The scope of information to be

    furnished in project report is not limited to filling of loan application form but it must be

    as detailed as possible covering each and every aspect of the project.

    S bank has a predetermined proposal format in which it feeds all the above data. This

    helps the bank to follow uniform appraisal system for all types of loans as well asprovides ease to carry on systematic appraisal process. While carrying out appraisal,

    importance is given mainly to the following aspects.

    A] Status of the concern:

    Small scale and ancillary units, export oriented units etc command a priority allocation ofbanks lendable funds. The unit with a proven track record may get a little preferential

    treatment. A concern which is establishing a new connection with some bank may be

    required to give full details of its past performance etc. The documents required to besubmitted under this category may include:

    Brief history of the concern which may cover a period since inception, the

    line of activity, past record and also throw some light on the future prospects.

    The details other associate concerns may also be given.

    Exporter/importer code number.

    Copies of certificates of registration as SSI unit.

    B] About the Promoter:

    It is the person behind any project who is most important for successful running of anyventure. A great deal of emphasis is, therefore, placed by the bank to assess the

    creditworthiness of the promoter, his managerial & entrepreneurial capacities and his

    financial status, technical qualification, business experience etc.

    C] About the credit facilities:

    The present approach of banks is to grant need oriented credit facilities only. The concernmay require different types of credit facilities including non fund based facilities for its

    smooth operations. A detailed study of these requirements should, therefore, be

    necessary.

    D] Financial Analysis:

    One of the foremost considerations for granting credit facilities for any project is thefinancial position of a concern. Banks employ various techniques for financial appraisal.

    However, there is neither any uniformity in appraisal nor any standard norms are fixed

    for such appraisal. Bur there are some important common features of financial appraisal.

    Financial appraisal revolves around two important financial statements which are

    required to be submitted by the borrower with the loan application. These are BalanceSheet and Profit & Loss A/C.

    S Bank carries out dynamic financial analysis by scrutinizing the audited accounts for

    previous years so as to ascertain the trend of growth in production, sales, profitability andimprovement / impairment in all important financial parameters in order to know the

    overall health of the borrowal account.

    Ratio Analysis: A ratio is a statistical yardstick that provides a measure of therelationship between two variables or figures. The appraising official has to steer a

    careful course. His experience and objectives of analysis help him in determining whichof the ratios are more meaningful in a given situation. Further, ratios do not provide a

    definite answer to financial problems. There is always the question of judgment as to

    what significance should be given to the figures. While some standards of reference and

    sources of background material may be found useful in this connection, in the finalanalysis, one must rely upon one's own good sense in selecting and evaluating the ratios.

    The following are the desired / indicative levels fixed by S Bank for different classes ofborrowers:

    1. Total Debt Equity Ratio: The indicative Debt Equity Ratio for different classes ofborrowers is given below. Adherence to the same will help the Bank in maintaining a

    healthy credit portfolio.

    # While working out MPBF, minimum margin to be taken @ 15% or 20% of total current

    assets so that minimum current ratios are maintained at 1.17 and 1.25 respectively.

    In case of item no 2 (i) & (ii), where the adequate future cash accruals are envisaged and

    the present current ratio is lower than the minimum, the Bank may consider WorkingCapital Term Loan (WCTL), repayable over a period of of 3 to 5 years and comply with the

    current ratio.

    In case of assessment under turnover method

    a) Margin requirements are to be maintained upfront.

    b) Where upfront NWC is higher than the minimum margin requirements, the MPBF

    may be computed by excluding the minimum margin requirement from 25% of theaccepted turnover.

    3. Interest Coverage Ratio: Interest Coverage is an indicator as to the number of

    times the profit covers the interest liability of the company. This is a risk parameter

    and an indicator to the extent to which the interest liability will be serviced on time.Profit for this purpose would mean the gross profit before interest. Indicatively

    Interest coverage will be between 1.50 and 1.75. Companies having term loan

    obligations should have higher interest coverage ratio to serve term liability.

    4. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): The Bank normally considers projects

    having average DSCR between 1.50 and 2 as adopted by the FIs. The Bank proposesto continue with the same policy.

    5. Current Assets Turnover Ratio: {Gross Sales/(Debtors+ Inventory)}: This ratiowill indicate the turnover of the current assets in a year. Generally this will be above

    1.75.

    6. PBIT to Total Assets: To have a better insight about the utilization of assets, this

    ratio needs be examined to find out the comparative performance of the unit over a

    period of time.

    7. Internal Rate of Return on discounted cash inflow: In case of term loans of

    Rs.5.00 crores and above, this needs to be worked out and the same should not be

    lower than the cost of funds.

    Deviations:

    The sanctioning authorities shall look for sound financial parameters in terms ofprescribed benchmarks. The stipulated parameter benchmarks will serve as

    suggestive and indicative tool for the sanctioning authorities to ensure a holistic

    credit decision. In case of existing borrowers whose dealings are satisfactory andlimits are fully secured, sanctioning authorities at branch levels may renew the

    limits even if two parameters are not as per policy guidelines.

    In case of deviations in respect of more than two parameters where renewal orenhancement is involved, Regional authority shall consider all the proposals

    falling within the powers of branches.

    In all other cases, where proposals fall within the powers of RegionalManagers/AGMs and above, the respective sanctioning authority may permit

    deviations with due justification, on the merits of each case and having due regardto the business expediency, within their respective discretionary powers

    Though the deviations are allowed by the respective sanctioning authorities asprescribed above, there should be endeavor to ensure that the borrower attains the

    benchmark level of ratio/financial parameters with in a specified time frame.

    The explanatory notes for allowing those deviations are mentioned.

    Apart from this, pre-sanction visit / inspection will be conducted by the Banks branchlevel officials to ascertain the facts about infrastructure facilities available at the site of

    the unit/ project and assess all other aspects of the project.

    In case of multiple/ consortium arrangements close co-ordination with otherbanks/financial institutions at the time of the appraisal, disbursement and follow up of

    advances should be ensured so that timely exchange of data / information is made for

    effective monitoring and control of advance.

    ASSESSMENT OF FUND BASED LIMITS

    I} Working capital:

    The day to day business operations of a concern of any nature and size involves manysuccessive steps and final working results would depend on the effective combination of

    all these steps. These steps put together form an operating cycle which can be represented

    diagrammatically as under.

    Thus, the operating cycle may be defined as the intervening period from the time the

    goods and services enter the business till their realization in cash. The study of thisoperating cycle is obviously very important for calculation of working capital

    requirement as the actual requirement of the unit may be limited to the funds required to

    complete an operating cycle.

    The Working Capital limits of the borrower are assessed by adopting various methodssuch as Projected Turnover Method (Nayak Committee Recommendation), Permissible

    Bank Finance Method, Cash Budget Method etc. depending upon the aggregate workingcapital limit required / enjoyed from the banking system, nature of activity, production

    cycle etc.

    Corporate Finance

    Bank borrowings and term loan installments due within 1 year are not consideredwhile calculating current liabilities.

    A minimum margin of 25% to be brought in by the unit from its owned funds and

    long term liabilities.

    As a measure to give incentive for exports, stipulation of providing margin onexport receivable has been waived.

    The borrowings in excess of permitted bank finance should normally be adjusted

    by the unit by arranging funds from long term sources by way of additionalcapital etc.

    II} Term Loan:

    Appraisal of term loan/projects should address managerial capabilities, techno-economic

    viability, marketability of products & services etc.

    a. Project in brief: The brief idea about the project and purpose for which the term loan

    is demanded is mentioned here.

    b. Project appraised by: Bank has approved 17 State Level Technical Organizations

    promoted by FIs/ Banks/SIDCs engaged in assessing Technical & Economic Viability of

    the projects / Market Studies. The sanctioning authority / Appraising official is requiredto obtain complete appraisal report from the specified State level Consultancy

    Organizations and / or IDBI /FIs. Their appraisal report is used as reference material

    while sanctioning the loan

    c. Location : The place where proposed project will be set up is mentioned. The relative

    advantages and disadvantages of such location are then analyzed.

    d. Cost of the project and Means of finance

    i. Cost of project: A realistic assessment of project cost is done to determine the sourcefor its availability and to properly evaluate the financial viability of the project. For this

    purpose, various items of cost may be sub-divided to as many subheads as possible so

    that all the factors are taken into account while arriving at the total cost. The major itemsof cost are as under.

    Land and site development

    Buildings

    Plant & machinery

    Technical know-how fees

    Preliminary and capital issue expenses

    Miscellaneous fixed assets such as furniture, vehicles etc.

    ii. Means of finance: After estimation of the cost of project, the next steo is to find outthe sources of funds by means of which the project will be financed. It can be financed by

    19

  • 8/7/2019 Dena_Bank1 (1)

    20/77

    Corporate Finance

    contribution of the funds by promoter himself and also raising loans from others

    including term loans from banks and financial institutions. The means of financing

    includes

    Issue of share capital

    Issue of secured debentures

    Secured long term and medium term loans Unsecured loans and deposites from promoters, directors etc.

    Deferred payments

    Capital subsidy from Central/State Government.

    If any additional funds have to be raised from an alternative source, the details thereof are

    also provided.

    e. Utilities: All factors relating to infrastructural needs, technology, availability of

    machines, material etc. are required to be scrutinized under this head. Broadly speaking,

    the factors that are examined under this aspect include

    Land & its location Buildins

    Availability of water and power

    Availability of labour.

    Availability of machinery, raw material and cosumables.

    f. Implementation schedule : The details of project implementation schedule are

    provided here. It includes month of commencement, scheduled activities, completion

    period etc.

    g. Repayment Period: repayment schedule of installment and interest is mentioned. Also

    moratorium period, if any, is indicated.

    h. Pollution Control Certificate issued by State/Central Authority and its tenability :

    The performance of project may not only be influenced by the financial factors. Otherexternal environmental factors which may be economic, social or cultural may have a

    positive impact as well. The larger projects should be critically evaluated taking into

    account following factors-

    Effect of the project on the environment with particular emphasis on the pollutionof water and air to be caused by it.

    The arrangements for effective disposal of effluents as per the government policy.

    Energy conservation devices etc. employed for the project.Required certificates for the same should be obtained from concerned authorities.

    i. DSCR (Average): Debt service coverage ratio is calculated to find out the capacity ofthe project servicing its debt i.e., in repayment of the term borrowings and interest. The

    DSCR is worked out in the following manner.

    Net PAT + Depreciation + Interest on long term borrowingsDSCR = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    20

  • 8/7/2019 Dena_Bank1 (1)

    21/77

    Corporate Finance

    Repayment of term borrowings in the year + Interest on long term borrowings

    The higher DSCR would impart intrinsic strength to the project to repay its liabilities. Aminimum average DSCR of 1.5:1 is insisted upon by S bank and repayment is fixed on

    that basis.

    j. Break Even Point: The break- even point can be expressed in terms of volume of

    production or as a percentage of plant capacity utilization. Lower the break even point,

    better, better it would be to carry out the project.

    k. Internal rate of return: It is the discount rate which equates the present value of

    investment in the project to the present value of future returns over the life of the project.

    It is an indicator of earning capacity of the project and a higher IRR indicates betterprospects for the project.

    l. Sensitivity Analysis : Sensitivity analysis is carried out to identify elements affecting

    the viability of project taking into consideration the different sets of assumptions likedecrease in selling price, production capacity or increase in operating expenses etc. The

    impact of such changes on DSCR is analyzed. If the new DSCR, so calculated afterchanges, still proves that project is viable, the bank goes ahead in funding the project.

    2. Credit rating:

    Exponential credit growth resulted in increased competition and credit delinquencies,wherein risk assessment is of critical importance. In this direction, comprehensive credit

    information on the credits availed by the borrower along with payment track record is of

    utmost importance before assuming exposures.

    Hence, Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India established CIBIL - Credit

    Information Bureau (India) Ltd to improve the functionality and stability of the Indianfinancial system. CIBIL, established in 2000 under aegis of RBI is a repository of

    information, which contains credit history of commercial and consumer borrowers. Under

    reciprocal basis, CIBIL provides vital information to its members in the form of credit

    information reports, which allows its Members to make informed, objective and fastercredit decisions. S Bank, being one of its members, uses the services of CIBIL in their

    credit decision process.

    Based on the guidelines and information provided by CIBIL, following Credit RatingModel is developed for assessing the creditworthiness of the borrowers.

    loans above Rs. 2 lacs, subject to Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) guidelines.

    While determining BPLR, banks take into consideration various factors like actual cost of

    funds, operating expenses, a minimum margin to cover regulatory requirement of

    provisioning/ capital charge and profit margin. As per the credit risk rating grade,additional interest is charged above BPLR. Below table shows the interest slabs charged

    than 60 & 70 respectively, except in case of specific permission obtained from

    CMD/ED in this regard.

    However, bank offers loans at below BPLR to exporters or other creditworthy

    borrowers.

    In case of borrowers availing aggregate credit limits of Rs.5 Crore and above,

    credit rating exercise is applicable twice a year, once based on audited financial

    accounts and once based on provisional half yearly accounts as per extant

    guidelines.

    Even non fund based exposure are rated and all proposals are accompanied by the

    Credit Score Sheets duly approved by the Competent Authority.

    Concession in interest rate:

    With increased competition amongst banks for garnering new business, interest rates

    have become a major tool to determine competitiveness of a bank for attracting newbusiness and to retain the existing clients. Keeping in view business interest, under-

    mentioned authorities are empowered to consider relaxation in rate of interest as under,

    provided such concession is supported with proper justification in business interest of thebank and/or overall yield for deployment of resources:

    4. Credit Disbursement and charging of securities

    The bank gets all the documents executed and then disburses the loan.

    Disbursement may be in the stages depending upon the progress in project

    implementation and will be subject to compliance of pre-disbursement and other

    special conditions. Promoter has to first bring in substantial part of hiscontribution before any disbursement of loan by the bank. An auditors certificate

    may also be required for this purpose.

    A progress report on project implementation giving details of expenditure alreadyincurred under various heads and a fund flow statement showing therein the

    phased requirement of funds for timely execution of the project must also be

    submitted to the bank. The bank will evaluate these reports and finalize adisbursement schedule which will further be subject to review from time to time

    on the basis of progress in project implementation.

    All the disbursements are made by cheque drown in favour of the borrower andthe date of cheque is taken as the date of disbursement of loan.

    All these cheques are required to be deposited in special bank account to bemaintained for this purpose.

    The borrower must keep proper record of withdrawals from this special account

    and also authorize his bank to reveal all the information regarding operations in

    this account. The borrower is also required to furnish a statement showing the

    manner in which the loan already disbursed has been utilized. The statement is tobe submitted to the bank at the end of each month following the month in which

    the loan money is disbursed.

    Entire loan is not disbursed as long as final security is not created. Usually 10 %of sanctioned loan is withheld and disbursed only when all the formalities in this

    regard are completed.

    Security:

    The Bank will prefer to have its credit exposure covered by tangible security (either

    primary or collateral) to the full extent of its liability. All loans by bank are securedprimarily by:

    (a) A first mortgage and charge of all the borrowers immovable properties, both presentand future, in favour of bank

    (b) A first charge by way of hypothecation of all borrowers movables, including

    movable machinery, spares, tools and accessories in favour of lending bank subject to

    prior charges created and/or to be created.

    Collateral Security will be obtained to cover any shortfall in value of prime security in

    case of existing borrowers and in the case of new borrowers. The Banks policy withregard to Collateral securities shall be as under:

    29

  • 8/7/2019 Dena_Bank1 (1)

    30/77

    Corporate Finance

    For New Borrowers: The Bank shall endeavor to obtain collateral security by way of

    fixed assets/ cash margin / shares etc.

    10% to 20% of Fund based & Non Fund Based limits. However, in case of PSUs and borrowers with AAA, AA, and A rating as per our

    Bank's rating system no collateral may be insisted upon.

    In case of Consortium advances, the Bank will follow the decision on theCollaterals as agreed to by the Consortium bankers.

    Bank may insist on collateral security up to 10% in case of medium scale

    borrowers.

    Collateral Security for tiny sector and Small Scale Sector will be as per HO

    guidelines and revision from time to time

    For existing Borrowers (upon sanction of enhanced FBL/NFBL limits): Therequirement of collateral security shall be

    10% to 20% of Fund based and Non Fund Based limits Normally no collateral security may be insisted upon over and above existing

    collateral security if any, provided prescribed margins are maintained and the

    borrower is having good track record, sound financial position and satisfactory

    dealings with the Bank. In case of PSUs and borrowers with AAA+, AA, A rating as per our Bank's policy

    no collateral security needs to be insisted upon.

    In case of Consortium advances, the Bank may follow the decision on theCollaterals as agreed to by the Consortium bankers.

    Deviation Any non-conformity with the security norms may be considered by the

    sanctioning authority on merits after duly recording the reasons there for.

    Personal Guarantees of promoters:

    With regard to obtaining personal guarantee of promoters, the Bank will be guided byregulatory guidelines issued from time to time. However, the Bank should invariably

    insist for personal guarantee of promoters in all borrowal accounts except in PSU, Large

    Customer having AAA, AA, A rating and under consortium arrangement. Sanctioning

    authority may take a view looking to overall credit worthiness of borrowal account.

    Nevertheless the legal department of the bank will communicate to the borrower

    regarding final creation of security and the date from which the mortgage is deemed to be

    created. On the failure of creation of charge on time, penal rate of interest can be chargedby bank on the entire outstanding loan till the date of creation of charge.

    5. Credit Monitoring

    Credit Monitoring is one of the fundamentals in building healthy credit portfolio forensuring recovery of interest and principal. Thus, Maintaining a Constant Watch on the

    Conduct & Performance of the Borrower is essential to initiate proactive measures to

    safeguard the asset as well as its earnings. This activity is Credit Monitoring.

    Credit Monitoring involves Tracking early detection of all warning signals on the

    health of the borrower, Threadbare analysis of warning signals, diagnosing the reasonsand initiating timely corrective/remedial actions to prevent loan loss.

    Credit Monitoring Mechanism:

    Monitoring of advances is under taken through study/objective analysis of

    Conduct and Operations in the Account

    Statement of Stocks / Book Debts & Audit thereof. Inspection / Verification of Assets Charged

    Financial Follow up Reports (FFR)

    Quarterly Review Sheets (QRS)

    Monthly Control Returns (M1-M9) & M2

    D-3 / W-3 Returns

    Credit Rating & Periodical Review / Renewals

    Steps in Credit Monitoring:

    Compliance Culture:

    Compliance to Policy Guidelines, timely submission of various returns without

    compromising on quality of updated data/information is to be imbibed as a Culture for

    effective and organized monitoring at all levels. Branches, Regional Offices and Other

    Departments shall ensure timely submission of various returns with correct and latestdata/information. Data/information received from Borrowers/market shall be subjected

    to immediate objective and meaningful scrutiny for eliciting warning signals and

    proposing corrective actions.

    Early warning Signals:

    Early detection of signals shall be picked up from all possible sources viz.

    Conduct of account

    Compliance of terms and conditions of sanction

    Business performance

    Condition of security

    Market reports

    Quality of Management and its Governance

    31

    32/77

    Corporate Finance

    Pre-emptive /Corrective action:

    Analysis of information on borrowers operations and conduct of the account, financialstatements / status, visit to the units, interaction with the borrower and market reports

    shall enable the functionaries to identify the cause for the early warning signals and

    propose suitable remedial measures. Accounts causing concern are identified as StandardB Assets for close monitoring purposes.

    Remedial action includes allowing cut back operations, phased recovery programme, re-assessment and alignment of limits to suit Borrowers business profile, restructuring the

    limits wherever warranted. Bank would support viable units only with the active

    commitment of the borrowers. Nevertheless, all the credit exposure would be subject to

    Credit Policy and Credit Risk Management Policy guidelines. In order to safeguardagainst the risk of default in principal and interest, Bank may propose the following

    action plans

    Stipulating higher margin on primary security Asking for more collateral

    Influencing business decisions of the borrower

    Infusion of fresh funds

    Induction of more banks into the consortium

    In case of unviable units or where the borrower is non-cooperative in regularizing the

    dues, Bank may resort to Exit Option or recalling the advance with recovery action plans.

    Credit Monitoring Cell at HO:

    Credit Monitoring Cell (CMC) at Corporate Office presently monitor all Standard

    Borrowal Accounts having an exposure (FB + NFB) of Rs. 1 Cr and above, known asLarge Borrowal Accounts. The threshold limit is now reduced to Rs. 0.25 Cr to cover

    large number of borrowal accounts. Monthly Monitoring Report submitted by branches

    every month.

    End use of funds should be monitored continuously. All actual drawings by the borrower

    for working capital should always be subject to the borrower maintaining sufficient

    security which is determined by the level of stocks / book debts and the prescribedmargin. Certificates ensuring end use of funds from competent authorities like Chartered

    Accountants /Chartered Engineers etc. shall be obtained, wherever stipulated

    Accounts identified as Standard B Accounts are also very closely monitored to preventslippage into to NPA. For this purpose, a Central Slippage Prevention Committee

    CSPC), headed by GM (Credit) is constituted to review the progress in such accounts, on

    fortnightly basis. Similarly, Regional NPA Prevention Cells are also established, at eachof the Regional offices, to review the progress in all Standard B Accounts.

    6. Recovery:

    Like any other commercial organization the primary objective of the bank has to be toearn profit from its operations, generate surplus for ensuring own stability and growth.

    This is possible only if the mobilization and deployment process of the funds runs

    uninterruptedly, which in turn is possible if the loans lent are recovered. The recoveryprocess is, hence, vital as it ensures booking of new business, as capital is freed and can

    be redeployed profitably in creation of new assets. As long as this cycle operates

    smoothly the financial health remains sound.

    Continuous monitoring and relentless follow up of advances both borrower wise and

    portfolio wise is important for building a strong asset base. Borrowers operating in ahighly competitive environment with swift changes in technology and dynamic macro

    economic policies of Government are susceptible to business risk. To insulate the Bank

    against such risks, Bank has put in place a system of classifying its Standard Assets into

    A & B categories.

    Standard A category assets are those which do not exhibit any signs of

    weaknesses.

    Standard B category assets are those that are exhibiting signs of weaknesses.

    At 'S' Bank, the Regional Manager personally verifies and ensures that all accounts,

    especially high value advances are properly classified into standard, Sub-std., Doubtful

    or loss categories strictly as per prudential norms. It is their responsibility to finalize

    and eliminate delay or postponement of identification of NPA. For greater and fasterrecoveries on time and minimization of NPAs, 'S' Bank has developed Loan Recovery

    Policy, which is reviewed and modified from time to time by the board of directors on

    the basis of suggestions and feedback received from field functionaries.

    Objective of the policy:

    1. Identification of potential NPA / Stressed Assets and initiation of prompt

    corrective measures for prevention of their down gradation to NPA category.

    2. Measures to maintain Asset quality

    3. Management of NPA accounts by addressing related dimensions.4. To evolve and implement recovery measures through OTS compromise

    schemes, recovery camps, lok adlat, securitization, sale of Assets/NPA,

    regularization / rehabilitation / restructuring etc. (SC)

    Management of NPA

    i) NPA Prevention Cell at Regional Office

    Every region will have a NPA Prevention Cell headed by Regional Manager at the ROs

    to monitor the Standard - B accounts and to ensure the prevention of their slippage to

    NPA. Its functions will be as under -

    a. To examine the information received from branches relating to Standard B (based on

    60 days norms), NPA accounts and identify the accounts for restructuring. The entireprocess should be completed within a time frame of 30 days.

    b. To review the performance of the existing restructured accounts.

    c. The cell will send information on fortnightly basis to CMC, CAD Head Office,

    d. Regional Manager to call for the explanation from the Branch Managers whose

    performance in recovery is far from satisfactory.

    Review and reporting of potential NPA / Stressed Assets:

    Step-1: Analysis of reasons of deterioration of health, signs of sickness, problem

    character of the A/c.

    Step-2: Close interaction with the borrower, visit to the unit, close & frequent

    monitoring of the account, drawing the attention of the borrower to theirregularity / deterioration in the asset quality / signs of weakness in the account.

    Step-3: Advice the borrower to correct the irregularity immediately in a time boundmanner and obtain his categorical assurance.

    Step-4: Corrective measures for prevention of slippages:

    Review the account and consider sanction of need based working capital limits on

    merits, if the present limits are inadequate.

    Identify Stressed Assets accounts and consider restructuring / realignment / re-

    scheduling on merits.

    Early warning signal, if any, to be watched and addressed to.

    Verification of (i) the documents for its correctness, enforceability, (ii) correctness

    of ROC (iii) insurance covers (iv) value/marketability of prime/collateral securityetc.

    Verification of existence of primary / collateral security of the borrower

    34

  • 8/7/2019 Dena_Bank1 (1)

    35/77

    Corporate Finance

    Step-5: Report to the next higher authority, the details on the above aspects and

    suggesting specific corrective measures in time.

    Step-6: Implement the corrective action & report to higher authority.

    ii) NPA Recovery Cell at the Regional Office:

    Every region will have a NPA Recovery Cell headed by Dy. Regional Manager at theRegional Office to monitor / upgrade the NPA accounts for recovery / regularization.

    iii) Transfer of part limits to the main branch after the account becomes NPA:

    If any part limit of an account is maintained at any branch, the part limit / account should

    be transferred immediately to the main branch ( i.e where the main limit exists) as and

    when the account is classified as NPA to facilitate centralized monitoring of the account.

    iv) Monitoring of newly slipped NPAs by Credit Department:

    Once the account turns NPA, it has to be monitored promptly and properly. In terms of

    boards directives all standard B accounts would continue to be handled by the Credit

    Dept. at HO / RO even after down gradation of the same to NPA till the Credit Dept.concludes that there is no scope for rehabilitation / restructuring / regularization etc. and

    initiation of recovery action is the only alternative.

    v) Up gradation of the NPA account

    If overdue interest and principal is paid in a NPA account, the account should beclassified as standard.

    S BANKS CREDIT PORTFOLIO AND ANALYSIS OF ITS

    CREDIT LENDING PATTERN

    India Vision 2020 of Government of India targets an annual GDP growth of 8.5% to

    9% over the next 20 years. Economic development of this magnitude would call forconsiderable investments in infrastructure and enormous funding requirements, which

    would pose challenge to banking and financial system. Public-private partnership and

    commercial funding in infrastructure projects will be more dominant in the years ahead.Service sector would assume greater importance. SME sector will emerge as a vibrant

    sector in view of its employment generation and significant contribution to GDP. Indias

    share in international trade is below 1%, accounting for less than 15% of GDP, which isexpected to go up to 35%.

    Taking cues from such macro economic scenario, development in the financial sector,

    changing market realities, business priorities, Government policies, regulatory

    prescriptions, past experience, and to enhance a healthy growth in credit portfolio, SBank has fine-tuned its loan policy.

    Specific Industry/Sectoral Limits (Credit Concentration)

    With a view to avoid concentration of credit in some particular sectors, the S Bank

    observes the following ceilings in respect of total exposure by way of fund based limit as

    39/77

    Corporate Finance

    The industry rankings turned out to be same for both the years. The credit lendingtrend shown by S Bank is the picture of real economical an industrial changes

    happening in recent years.

    The economy of India has proven to be highly conducive in terms of domestic andforeign investments, in recent years. India Investments have been predicted as the

    propelling force towards the country's attainment of self-sustained growth by

    rapid industrialization. The effect of this can be seen in credit lending pattern ofS bank. The above graph shows that S bank has provided highest amount of its

    credit assistance to the financial service providers which includes NBFCs,

    housing finance companies, stock broking companies, other private banks etc.

    The 2nd in the list is infrastructure. Infrastructure Industry in India have been

    experiencing a rapid growth in its different sectors with the development ofurbanization and increasing involvement of foreign investments in this field.

    According to the India infrastructure Report (IIR), currently 5.5 percent of theGDP is invested in the infrastructure sector. The S Bank has taken initiatives to

    develop the infrastructure sector, with major emphasis on construction,engineering, IT, and utility to name some.

    The Indian steel industrys progress of late has been encouraging in recent years.The last two years have seen the deregulated Indian steel industry performing at

    its peak level in almost all spheres. Hence, credit assistance to this sector is at the

    3rd rank.

    India's 21.59 million-line telephone network is one of the largest in the world and

    the 3rd largest among emerging economies (after China and Republic of Korea).Given the low telephone penetration rate - 2.2 per 100 people of population,

    which is much below the global average, India offers vast scope for growth. It is

    therefore not surprising that large investment is done by S Bank in telecom

    sector also.

    Other service industry includes mainly airline, educational institutes,

    entertainment etc. and other manufacturing industry includes manufacturers ofelectrical equipments, packaging material to name a few.

    The textile, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries are few of the key

    industries in India contributing significantly to both the industrial and economicgrowth of the country. Hence, significant investment is made in these sectors also

    by S bank.

    Few loans are given to individual borrowers for their personal purpose.

    same time acquiring new clients every year in order to increase its client base.

    In order to analyze the pattern of sanctions, it is divided into 3 categories.

    1. Fresh sanctions.

    2. Additional Sanctions to existing borrowers.3. Other existing borrowers with same credit limit.
